One extra regulation here is building codes insisting all houses have kitchens. If people could buy/rent places without kitchens for the appropriate lower price, eating out would make more sense.
Regulation forces people to own/rent kitchens, whether or not they want to use them.
Part of the question is, why isn’t there somewhere I can buy school dinner quality food at school dinner prices?
